Do we really need a double ended bead toy?

This may not be the ideal design for a double ended anal toy, but it can still be used with a partner, by having one person use it on the other. The other end makes a good handle. We just didn't find it as enjoyable using both ends to penetrate at the same time, because of the beaded design. The price makes it an ok, inexpensive choice for anyone on a budget. Also, keep in mind the material, and that a condom is recommended because the jelly material is so porous.

Pros:

Good size and weight, jelly material is soft yet firm enough to use

Cons:

Jelly material not very sanitary for anal use, Beaded double-ended toy design is a bit odd for us

We are always looking for things we both can enjoy. Double ended toys can be great fun! However, we found this one a tad disappointing.

Our first issue is the material. It's a jelly material, so it is porous and can be difficult to keep sanitary. We would have preferred something a bit easier to sanitize and keep clean, like silicone. Especially for something designed for anal play. However, the jelly material did have a nice feel to it. It was firm enough to work with, but soft enough to feel nice and comfortable.

The second big issue we had with it was the design/concept itself. The toy is made of several bubbles/beads, increasing in size as you move down each side. We find that a beaded anal toy like this is fun to slowly take in and remove each bead. However, with a double ended toy like this, where one end is in each partner, you just want to grind on each end with your partner. When doing that, the size of the beads fights against you a bit, and doesn't want to pop past whatever size you are on. In a double ended configuration, where both partners are using it at the same time, we actually found it to be better suited for vaginal use than anal. Vaginally, the toy could slide more easily providing more motion.

Since it is a double ended toy, it does have a good size and heft to it. Because of that, we think we may enjoy it more as a one person toy, or with the second person using the other side as a handle to manipulate it for the other person. If inserted into one person anally, the weight of the other half just hanging there has a nice sensation of its own.

There is also a sort of neutral zone in the middle of the toy. We think we might have preferred a slightly bigger neutral zone as well, but that is a minor issue.

Material: As we mentioned, we would have preferred a more sanitary material for an anal toy. However, the jelly material did have a nice feel, and fairly minimal smell.
